also, our draft original draft was in David Wrights rookie year, so any player drafted before that had no possibility of making this list. but you can bank on the fact that anyone that had a breakout rookie year would have made this list also. ex. Pujols, Miggy, Teixeira.

based on your philosophy of taking proven assets and not gamling on potential, you would have zero chance on owning any of these players. so divide up the rest of the good players and remember that the rest of the league also has equal oppertunity at those players as well.

also, curiously, notice the lack of pitchers on this list.. they just don't have the staying power and consistancy that hitters do..

In a 12 team, 8 player keeper league, I got Lance Berkman for a 5th round pick (equivalent of a 13th rounder in a redraft) and started him for the first time on Monday in my DH slot. Keep in mind the guy I am trading with is out of the running and building towards next year. Of course, he doesn't think Lance is one of his top 8 or so players.

I'd say, trading Morneau for Crawford was a great deal for me - I dealt Morneau when he was hitting almost .380, and he's still been solid..but Crawford has been on another level since I've gotten him - unreal. I am using Berkman in place of Morneau, who has been on fire.

Another one - Trading Hughes for Haren, Haren has been pretty solid since I acquired him, while Hughes has been getting lit up recently.
